Dennis's Orchids
Yes, I do grow orchids... As a matter of fact this is one thing (except
breathing) that I has been doing for longer then anything else.
I got my first orchid (a Phal. hybrid) sometimes in 1986.
I specifically collect Phalaenopsis species. My collection was almost
entirely destroyed in 1994 by AC malfunction and I started over. Now I have
only 18 Phal. species and a few other things.
Most of my current collection fits into a modified
bookcase with a single 100 watt HPS bulb on top and a
small fan to move the air.
My wife, Irina was kind enough to
make a web interface to my
experimental database of Phalaenopsis hybrids. The form mentiones all
orchid genera, but only Phalaenopsis, Doritis, Doritaenopsis and Vanda are
complete. Most other genera only have one or two records. Basically
if it cannot be hybridised with Phals it is not there.
Here is what recently bloomed (click on the small picture
